    DAG> Unfortunately the job that I was having these troubles at never

   That's really a shame.  Did you ever connect to the upper management   
   about the situation...?  That all sounds just unprofessional, even if it   
   is "only" foodservice...

   And hopefully the contract work will blossom and pay well enough to   
   sustain you.  :)   It certainly has the potential to be more satisfying   
   a job, even if it doesn't get you out of the house... :)   
      
    DAG> There's definitely something to be said for the people willing to do

    DAG> 'beggars can't be choosers' kind of applies to the situation that I've   
    DAG> been in, and still find myself at this point.  :P    
      
   Even some professional jobs don't offer much respect... even if they pay   
   a little better and maybe even have better benefits... been there...

   ... To err is human.  To blame it on someone else is even more human.
